The Splendid Sun Books & Gifts

I absolutely LOVE coming here. I live about 25 minutes away, but make the drive for this store. The book selection is great, the owner Christie is AWESOME, and I love how fun she makes it to shop there. My favorite is the “blind book date” deal she does and it’s one of the reasons I like to go. The “gifts” part of this shop is also fun if you want to get that bookworm on your life a little book related gift.

I also really appreciate how Christie makes time to chat with her customers and get to know them. I have even read and suggested books to others based on suggestions I have gotten from the owner. I am so happy to shop at independent bookstores and shops in general due to this reason.
If you’re in need of a bookstore with a great atmosphere and book selection, I would recommend Splendid Sun Books & Gifts right in a heart beat!

Such a great bookstore. A gem in Rockport Texas. A place where you must visit if you are in the area. They have books in all the genres. The owner of the bookstore is so friendly and kind. She is such a sweet lady and helped us pick books in our genre and shared recommendations from other people too. They have a cute sitting area where you can chill and read. Their book selections are quite good. I just loved the vibe this bookstore gave. Me and my husband got a couple of books.

This is such an amazing little shop. The owner Christi is such a kind and genuine soul. Her and her husband have created such a comfortable and welcoming spot even after only being here for a few months. Definitely worth stopping by!!

As an avid reader and literature educator, my wife made this a “must stop” during our travels through Rockport, and I couldn’t be happier to have made the visit. We were made welcome by the owner Christie and her husband as we browsed the wide selection of books. A huge THANK YOU to the two of them for making our trip to the TX coast brighter and we can’t wait to see the future success of the store!

The friendliness, the knowledge and welcoming feeling you will get in such a book store are very much appreciated by people who know that reading is a treasure for the soul...Geny Heywood (author)

The owner is wonderful! She said if we give her a few weeks notice she would order books for our book club. Lovely store, comfortable and welcoming place to gather.

The owner is so polite and welcoming. My friend and I bought books, stickers and other trinkets. We sat on her comfy couch and studied for a few hours. I can’t wait to go back.

A fabulous bookstore! Tons of cute items & such a cozy feel. The woman was very kind! Love supporting a local store with such a good vibe - she had the book I was looking for
